This was an interesting read, but I’ve got stuff to do today, so I skipped the 90 minute video on their “outrageously ambitious mission”. Anyone care to summarize?

Yay. Another fork.

I agree - sinophobia is hateful and irrational. I just don’t trust the CCP not to force the company to play along with their surveillance plans, ya know?

If anyone has any actual information, I’d appreciate it. Just based on the fact that it’s a Chinese automaker, though, I wouldn’t expect privacy to be very high on their list of priorities.

I was thinking the same thing.

I resisted the urge to make a comment about it because honestly, sometimes I’ve been guilty of it, too. Also, some articles are so full of useless, unnecessary bullshit I can’t really blame people for not wanting to read them. So I just copied, pasted, and shut up. :)

Sweden doesn’t have laws that set working conditions, such as a minimum wage. Instead these rules are dictated by collective agreements, a type of contract that defines the benefits employees are entitled to, such as wages and working hours. For five years, industrial workers’ union IF Metall, which represents Tesla mechanics, has been trying to persuade the company to sign a collective agreement. When Tesla refused, the mechanics decided to strike at the end of October. Then they asked fellow Swedish unions to join them.

Beautiful. This is what happens when people actually have each other’s backs.

Oh. We’re talking about slightly different things here. I was arguing against the instance existing at all.

As for aiding and abetting, I can see it being successfully argued that yes, having the instance show up IS aiding and abetting. Granted, it’s not as clear cut, but if it’s proven that the people maintaining the search engine knew it was an instance that contained cp, that could be a major issue.

Understood. I don’t know where you’re from, so let me tell you about a common legal concept in the United States: aiding and abetting. Basically, if you knowingly help someone commit a crime (possessing cp), you’re often guilty of a crime as well. Plus, there’s the issue of distributing cp. That’s a crime in itself.

To me, though, the legal details are secondary. My biggest issue is informed consent. Children cannot give informed consent. Therefore, any sexual pictures/video are exploitation. That’s not okay.

Just the other day, I was talking with someone about the important difference between morality and legality, but in the case of cp, I think they got it right.

(If you choose to reply, take your time. I’m headed out and won’t be able to answer right away.)

That is a piss-poor analogy. Considering that you’re trying to defend the indefensible, though, I’d say it’s the least of your problems.

I smell the foul stench of WITCHCRAFT! What is this heretical device you speak of?

That was an interesting article. Thanks for sharing it.

That judge was trash. Although it turned out that recalling him had consequences, I don’t think those consequences are reason to tolerate unjust judges like him.

…passed after a unanimous vote.

Lol I can imagine a LOT of legislators not wanting people to know that they’re kinkyboi69.

Especially working for Disney. Well, better late than never!

The sky-high barrier to entry was a MAJOR problem for me.

When I was seriously considering installing Linux, the first issue I ran into was the lack of tutorials - or, more accurately, the bewildering array of tutorials. You couldn’t just search the term “Linux tutorial” and expect an answer that was specific enough to your case to actually be useful. There was (and is) a wide variety of distributions, each with their own unique behaviors and requirements.

If you were looking for help with the Windows or Mac OS, all you needed was the OS version number, plus maybe some basic hardware info, and most of the time you were good. With Linux, answering even the simplest question required a focused, concentrated effort, and there was still a decent chance a beginner wouldn’t have enough background knowledge to understand the answer. Generally speaking, beginner-friendly tutorials were often too broad to be useful, and specific tutorials tended to assume knowledge that a beginner didn’t have.

Unless you had someone standing by who was willing to be your Linux Yoda, starting out was very difficult. I didn’t know such a person, so I just gave up.

Granted, this was several years ago, and things may have changed. I’m speaking from my own limited experience.

Just had hot honey for the first time recently. It RULES.

Wow. That video is terrible. At first, I thought it might be a useful perspective because it took reddit’s views into account. At the end, though, he didn’t even mention reddit’s insulting, adversarial attitude, or the fact that reddit is threatening to replace mods who continue to protest.

I learn a lot from opposing viewpoints, but I can’t trust something that’s presented as a documentary style “deep dive” and turns out to be so biased. If someone is relying on deception and lies of omission, yet presenting themselves as neutral, I can only wonder what else they’re lying about.
